Yeah, I find meditative reflection to be helpful, and I can do that with menial labor on someone else's agenda. It also paid marginally better than fishing. It was the polar opposite of what I was doing, while still being work, so it was appealing.
I'm not convinced this is a bad decision yet. The only thing ventured so far is my time and a few bucks for some evaluation boards.
It's just the learning curve is a vertical climb, and I've been fought every step of the way. If I can move past that and get somewhat comfortable, things will be okay. I'm going to spend some more time with it, including taking a course at the end of august on this stuff (much as I don't do well with course style learning, I am learning what I think they'll teach ahead of time and I intend to use the time for Q&A as much as possible)

I am going through the same crap right now myself.
This toolchain does it this way; that one does it that way; this one has this feature; that one doesn't; this one's feature doesn't work; that one feature is obtuse; .....
Waaay back when, I had a simple makefile, simple library linkages, simple programming structures....Now, it takes two weeks just to set up a project build with all the options working correctly, all the libraries referencing the correct version, etc., etc., etc.
Just yesterday, I wanted to use kdbg on a Linux MX distribution (I have it working on a Linux Mint distro)---could not compile it because of missing modules...and I could find sources/libraries for the modules.
FRUSTRATION!

The problem I'm having is that I work for many customers and they all have their own projects (some customers more than one).
I'm using Azure DevOps for most of them, but two customers have their own environment and one customer is on GitLab.
Besides that, I want to track work like "call xyz", which does not fit into any one (software) project.
The goal is to have everything in one place so I know project a for customer b has top priority and project x for customer y has low priority and if we have some time to spare we could fix issues k, l and m for customers n, o and p.
Azure DevOps has a boards feature which can be configured to support Scrum, Kanban or whatever you make it, but having it over different projects is not really something they support.
A dummy project just for the boards could be a solution.
I'm also looking at a Kanban solution like Trello, but I'm not sure if a simple Kanban board is enough to track work for various customers and projects.
I could make a board per project, but that kind of defeats the purpose of having it all in one place.
I've managed fine so far, but now that there's more of us and workload is increasing I start having trouble managing it all.
Besides, I have it all in my head because I know my customers, their projects and my software, but I have someone here who doesn't and now tracks it in a text file (and he's not very good at that).
So, any recommendations?

I've used JIRA in the past and as far as I know it has the same "problem" that DevOps has too, it tracks issues per project.
I could never get a good overview across projects with JIRA, but I must admit I don't know it as well as DevOps.

Why not create one monster project with all your actual projects as sub-projects?
